Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the disputed conditions are necessary and reasonable having regard to the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • Whether the disputed conditions are necessary and reasonable having regard to the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties

What decided it

Condition 3 failed the test of reasonableness and necessity because the building would not harm visual amenity and future provisions in the development plan and permitted development rights would adequately address any cessation of agricultural use, whereas condition 5 was necessary to prevent unfettered installation of plant or machinery that could harm residential amenity.
